Congratulations to now Doctor Megs on completing her PhD using advanced airborne imaging spectroscopy to explore the functioning and evolution of Hawaiian forests! SGSUP at ASU ASU GDCS

Honored and excited to work with you! Welcome to our growing amazing team in Hawaii! ASU GDCS Asner Lab ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory

In Hilo, Hawaii today! Our airborne laboratory will be on display alongside lots of other cool planes! @asu_gdcs ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory

Fun time at the Hilo airport show today. We stopped counting at 209 kids pressing the buttons onboard our airborne lab!

New research near shows that identifying and protecting marine ecosystems both down-current and up-current of coral reefs is crucial to future coral conservation and restoration efforts — especially as reefs face the effects of climate change. ASU GDCS news.asu.edu/20240108-disco…

PhD available in the Ecosystem Science Lab NAU to work on tree drought and barkbeetle stress across Arizona and the US Southwest. We're developing a first-of-its-kind system to monitor stress across the entire state on a daily, individual tree scale. DM CV & cover letter! RT!

1/4 Aloha, this week we launched a partnership website supporting the new ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Reef Restoration Program for coral reef restoration along the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island. akoakoa.org

The first chapter of my dissertation is out! Looking at the spectral sensitivity of benthic community shifts of Hawaiian reefs. This will help us delineate reef communities for targeted restoration efforts in West Hawaiʻi. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ie3o7qzT3DbY ASU GDCS Asner Lab Dr. Julia K. Baum

The NASA #PANGEA scoping is in full swing! Thanks Land-Cover & Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Program for the opportunity to present at the Science Team Meeting. Next is our hybrid workshop AGU (American Geophysical Union) in DC. Then off to European Geosciences Union for a Town Hall w the European community. Join us! #climatechange #tropicalforests

Congratulations to Kelly van Woesik on successfully completing her masters degree ASU GDCS Hawaii. Kelly’s research guides our akoakoa.org coral reef restoration program!

We Allen Coral Atlas, powered by ASU are monitoring coral bleaching from space. The maps here show, in green outlines, where we detect bleaching. These maps are changing fast with each update. Log in and zoom in these green outlines to see the details at 10 m resolution.

Big congrats to Dominica Harrison on receiving a Graduate Fellowship from International Coral Reef Society - International Coral Reef Society! This fellowship will support Dominica's ongoing research in West Hawaii.

New study out, led by former labmate Rachel Engstrand, PhD, with Jorge Caballero Espejo, Miles Silman and Greg Asner, about their study of long-term revisitation to gold mines in the #Amazon region of #Peru. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
